Anarchist Spies TO MARI Miss
vanzandt.
CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-August Spies,
one of the Anarchists convicted OF
murder and conspiracy, in connection
with the Haymarket massacre, Will be
married in Jail next Tuesday to Miss
Minnie Clarke Vanzandt. The pro-
spective bride of the condemned An
archist is the daughter of James Van
zandt, a well to do chemist of this city.
Both he and Spies confirmed the
statement as given above, and as re-
lated by Spies tonight in his cell.
The circumstances are asfollows: Dur
ing the last days Of the trial Miss Van
zandt became a regular visitor to the
court. She was noticeable on account
OF her fine form, and a considerable
beauty Of the blonde species. She
was always fashionably dressed. After
the conclusion of the trial she visited
the Jail and was introduced to Spies.
They became interested in each other
and decided to marry. Vanzandt
said tonight that his daughter, though
of a gentle and loving nature, could
be firm upon occasions. When he
learned of her intentions he decided
not to oppose her. He believed it
would be useless. Besides, an in
vestigatioD convinced him that Spies
life, aside from his connection with
Socialism, had been admirable. Miss
Vanzandt is a member of the Fourth
Street Presbyterian Church. Judge
Gary being an attendant at that
church, invited her, among other
members, to occupy seats on the bench
during the trial. Vanzandt said his
daughter is the heiress of an aunt in
Pittsburg, whose estate is valued at
$500 900.
The Fight Between McAulifre and
GilmOur.
LAWRENCE, Mass, Jan. ia re-
markable prize fight was fought here
last night in the presence of a small
number Of sporting people between
Jack McAuliffe of Brooklyn, cham
pion light weight of America, and
Henry Gilmour, of Toronto, light
weight champion of Canada. They
fought for Holk's international dia-
mond prize belt for light weights, and
a purse of $500. In addition, $1,000
was put inside Of the ring on bets.
The men were in excellent condition,
and both scaled within the limit of 1873
pounds. Twenty-eight rounds were
fought occupying one hour and 81
minutes. The fight was only finished
by Gilmour falling senseless in the
ring under the terrible blows inflicted
by McAuliffe. There was consider
able heavy fighting up to the sixth
round, McAuliffe evidently coming
out a better man. From the sixth to
the 25th round the fortunes of the
men varied, and McAulitfe's conf
dence was visibly increased. In the
Goth round McAuliffe started in to
finish Gilmour, who had begun to
show signs of weakness, but the latter
whose face was pulled up badly,
fought with desperation, and con-
tinued to make a good fight. Nc
Auliffe got the best of the 26th round,
but Gilmour continued to show game,
and it was not until the 26th round
that he began to give way. McAuliffe
rained blows upon him numerically.
In the 28th round Gilmour was very
groggy, and McAuliffe struck him
fully 10 heavy blows in the face, Gil
mour finally falling sensless to the
floor, and was unable to respond
when time was called. MeAuliffe
claimed the fight, and it was awarded
to him. Gilmour recovered and de-
sired to continue the fight, but was
prevented by his hacker and referee.
He was frightfully punished, and was
put to bed with physicians in attend
ice upon him.

New YORK, Jan. ia bloody con-
test with five IN gloves to a finish,
was fought on Long Island tonight by
weights, Billy Davis, 10 pounds,
and Eugene Hornbacher, 120 pounds.
Davis was more scientific, and on the
round he caught Hornbacher ON
the iuglar, knocking him down and
nearly ending the fight. Had Davis
gone in at this point he could have
won, but he took things easy to wear
his man out, but Hornbacher was a
Davis knocked him down
again in the tenth round. Then both
carefully till the fifteenth round,
when Hornbacher cut Davis lip open.
Slugging followed for four rounds. At
he end of the nineteenth round Horn
Dacher hit Davis on the jaw a terrific
blow, and blood gushed from his mouth
rs he fell. Davis was in very bad con-
lition for five rounds, but was kept up
With brandy, and managed to get in
several facers. At the close OF the
